Even though temps are soaring, that didn't stop us from enjoying this delicious soup for lunch. So easy to prepare, and the tomato soup/beef broth makes a nice flavored base. Other than adding about a tsp. of salt, followed directions to a T, and wouldn't change a thing. This will go into our soup rotation. Thanks for sharing your mom's filling soup recipe--Happy July 4th, catsoplenty!

<p>Middle-aged mom of two young men in their 20's. I go through stages of not wanting to cook and then going crazy with new recipes!! This site has given me plenty of new recipes to try!! <br /><br />My family and friends probably think I'm famous for my baby-back ribs, cajun buttermilk chicken, my oh-so-easy chicken riggies, taco pizza, chicken wing pizza, artichoke pizza........and a few more!! Some I got from other sources........the pizzas are just my version after having them from local pizzerias. <br /><br />I don't have a favorite restaurant. So many are good.</p>
